- Description
- In traditional historical and scholarly accounts of the making and fighting of wars, women are often nowhere to be seen. War stories are told as if men were the only ones who plan, fight, are injured by, and negotiate ends to wars. As this book tells,women can be found at every turn in the (gendered) phenomena of war. Women have participated in the making, fighting, and concluding of wars throughout history, and their participation is only increasing at the turn of the 21st century. Women experience war in multiple ways: as soldiers, as fighters, as civilians, as caregivers, as sex workers, as sexual slaves, refugees and internally displaced persons, as anti-war activists, as community peace-builders, and more.

- Description
- The authors explore whether gendered cultural conceptions influence the way war is remembered and represented, both collectively and individually. The collection discusses the various roles of women during the war from resistance fighter to `German tart’ and how they were dealt with and treated in the aftermath. The chapters examine the position of Jewish victims of persecution, foreign female labourers and gay men, as well as the gendered response exhibited by the courts in post-war trials of female state police employees. The book concludes by following the struggle to bring women’s role in war and peacebuilding onto the international agenda.

- Description
- De bijdragen analyseren de rol van en de invloed op vrouwen bij gewapende conflicten en politiek geweld en het complexe, veranderende rolgedrag en machtsverhoudingen tussen mannen en vrouwen onder die omstandigheden. Aangezien deze omstandigheden gezien worden als het domein van mannen kreeg de betrokkenheid van vrouwen tot nu toe weinig aandacht, terwijl zij wel degelijk optreden als soldaten, guerillera's, paramilitairen en vredestichters.

- Description
- Gender oppression has been a feature of war and conflict throughout human history. Today, in a variety of post-conflict settings--the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Colombia, Northern Ireland --international advocates for women's rights have focused bringing issues of sexual violence, discrimination and exclusion into peace-making processes.The authors in this book argue that there has been too little success. They contend that a broader approach would not just benefit women. Gender mainstreaming and increased gender equality has a direct correlation with state stability and functions to preclude further conflict.With this in mind, they examine the efforts of transnational organizations, states and civil society in multiple jurisdictions to place gender at the forefront of all post-conflict processes. They offer concrete analysis and practical solutions to ensuring gender centrality in all aspects of peace making and peace enforcement.
